Michael Bishop in 2009. Exhibit files added to the collection in 2015. Biographical Information J. Michael Bishop was born February 22, 1936, in York, Pennsylvania. He completed his undergraduate degree at Gettysburg College, majoring in chemistry, and eventually chose medicine as a career. He entered Harvard Medical School, became interested in basic science, and began research in animal virology, where he "learned that the viruses of animal cells were ripe for study with the tools of molecular biology." He received his M.D. in 1962, and in the next two years he completed his internship and residency at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1964 he was appointed postdoctoral fellow in the Research Associate Training Program at the National Institutes of Health. At NIH he pursued virology research with his mentor, Leon Levintow, and spent a year doing research in Hamburg, Germany. He then chose to accept a faculty position at UCSF, he recalls, "because the opportunities seemed so much greater: I would have been a mere embellishment on the East Cost; I was genuinely needed at San Francisco." He arrived at UCSF in 1968, hired as an assistant professor of microbiology and immunology and continued work in virology with Leon Levintow, who had joined the UCSF faculty two years earlier. Bishop became a full professor in 1972, and in 1981 was appointed director of the G. W. Hooper Research Foundation. In the mid 1980s he also became director of the Program in Biological Sciences (PIBS), a pathbreaking interdisciplinary program in graduate education. As he developed his research program, Bishop began to study retroviruses, and utilized reverse transcriptase to explore viral DNA. In 1970, Harold E. Varmus joined Bishop as a postdoctoral fellow, and Bishop recalls, "Our relationship evolved rapidly to one of coequals, and the result was surely greater than the sum of the two parts." For the next two decades Bishop and Varmus identified and clarified the process of how Rous sarcoma virus transforms normal cellular genes (proto-oncogenes) into cancer genes (oncogenes). In 1989, Bishop and Varmus were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery that growth regulating genes in normal cells can malfunction and initiate the abnormal growth processes of cancer. Bishop is the recipient of numerous awards in addition to the Nobel Prize, including the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Biomedical Research and the American Cancer Society National Medal of Honor. In 2003, he was awarded the National Medal of Science. On July 1, 1998, J. Michael Bishop became eighth chancellor of UCSF, and presided over what would become the largest academic biomedical expansion in the nation-the creation of the UCSF Mission Bay campus. Mission Bay formally opened in 2003 and by 2008 included four research buildings (Genentech Hall, Rock Hall, Byers Hall, the Diller Cancer Research Inventory of the Papers of J. MSS.2007.215 2 Michael Bishop MSS.2007.21 Building), and the William J. Rutter Center. Bishop retired as UCSF Chancellor in August 2009, with the distinction of longest term of service in that office. Scope and Contents The collection contains the laboratory research notebooks and professional papers of Nobel Prize-winning scientist and UCSF professor and chancellor, Dr. J. Michael Bishop. Material relates to his work on cancer, retroviruses, and oncogenes, and includes drafts of his autobiographical book, How to Win the Nobel Prize: An Unexpected Life in Science. Also included are publication records including article drafts, reprints, and related correspondence, administrative records, clippings, teaching materials, Nobel Prize medals, photographs, and material from an exhibit about Bishop. Arrangement The collection is arranged in twelve series: Series I. Writings and publication files; Series II. Teaching files; Series III. Laboratory research notebooks and binders; Series IV. Working files; Series V. Scrapbook and artifact; Series VI. Exhibit files; Series VII. Committee files; Series VIII. Correspondence; IX. Postdoctoral files; X. Meetings and Travel files; XI.

Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods.

  • MED C-LIVE Transcript
    JUNE 2020 Mario Capecchi, Ph.D. NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION Michael Keel My name is Michael Keel from New Jersey. And it is my honor to introduce Dr. Mario Capecchi. Dr. Capecchi is the Distinguished Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He is best known for his groundbreaking work in gene targeting, in mass embryo derived stem cells. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for Medicine, for his work in finding ways to manipulate the mammalian genome by changing mammals’ genes. His research interests include analysis of neural development in mammals, gene therapy, and production of murine models of human genetic diseases, from cancer to neuropsychiatric disorders. Dr. Capecchi, welcome to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders. Dr. Capecchi Thank you. First of all, welcome to the Medical Leaders’ Congress. It's a pleasure to be here. My name is Mario. I'm going to be talking about gene targeting. Next slide please. My laboratory has developed a technology called gene targeting that allows you to change any gene in any conceivable manner in a living creature, such as a mouse. Next slide. Why do we do gene targeting? Next slide. There are many reasons, but they boil down to two. One is basic research and the other is applied research. In basic research, you investigate the biology of an animal. For example, how do you make a limb or a heart or a brain? Those are basic research questions. The other is applied research. That is we can use gene targeting to generate mice with human diseases.

Abstract The network model of innovation widely adopted among researchers in the economics of science and technology posits relatively porous boundaries between firms and academic research programs and a bi-directional flow of inventions, personnel, and tacit knowledge between sites of university and industry innovation. Moreover, the model suggests that these bi-directional flows should be considered as mutual stimulation of research and invention in both industry and academe, operating as a positive feedback loop. One side of this bi-directional flow – namely; the flow of inventions into industry through the licensing of university-based technologies – has been well studied; but the reverse phenomenon of the stimulation of university research through the absorption of new directions emanating from industry has yet to be investigated in much detail.
